i call it the ed shultz effect. unionist-hunter-beer drinkin- old school-middle class- kick yer ass -democrats. i have little in common with them, but there's your lynchpin right there. reframe reformed repubs in that model. it's a comfy, manly persona to assume. now only to take the commie tag off of unions in the public consciousness and you get lots of converts in middle america. it's all words and perceptions aint it?
